fixed in svn. I haven't done CTRL+S or put an asterisk in the titlebar though.

Good point. It will have to wait until 0.1.7 though.

Editor Should Ask If You Want to Save Changes

Every other editing application that I use does so and it could be unpleasant if you accidentally clicked X. This applies to all of the editors.

Implement Ctrl + S to save
On a related note, Alt + F > S just doesn't have the same touch as Ctrl + S.

Implement visual non-saved/saving feedback
SciTE has an asterix at the back of the window title. Gedit has an asterix at the front. Kate uses [modified] indicate that you're working on something that's as of yet unsaved. OpenOffice does a bit poorer with its save icon that becomes clickable, but then again, it does a reasonably decent job of autosaving. Now, a thing that I like about Gedit is that it displays "saving file /whatever" for a few seconds, although on the other hand it makes me worry that the file isn't yet saved whereas in SciTE I know it's saved as soon as the asterix is gone. So basically I'm advocating something like SciTE.

Other than the automatically reloading images in the army editor (cheers) I think these would probably be the greatest usability improvements that you could make right now.
